I want to address readers who work for what is termed “Psychic Networks”. Newspapers, magazines and the Internet are the usual means of advertisement for telemarketing firms that offer readings of various types. Some are “sponsored” by the rich and famous, like Dionne Warwick, LaToya Jackson and Mother Love, who receive royalties for lending their images or “testimonials” to the advertising campaign. These stars are being paid royalties on their images from your pocketbook while you are getting that 1-800-psychicstuff reading!
There are a few facts about telemarketing “psychic readers” that you should know:
1. Many of the most popular and most advertised “psychic readers” networks are owned and operated by attorneys and professional
marketing consultants. The basis for their business is about advertising, marketing and potential lawsuits. The clients who call their many different psychic networks are only a source of money for them. More deeper than that, they are the ones who orchestrate the type of reading you will receive when you consult one of their “psychics” when you are heartbroken, confused, miserable or down on your luck.
2. The tag line, “for entertainment purposes only” is a method of defense in the event that a client challenges them with a lawsuit about the advice they received from the company’s employees. It is a good idea to have it on your site, as I do, to caution children who call without their parent or guardian wanting them to do so. One someone reaches the age of majority (in mosts states it is age 18), then the young person can call to get a psychic or tarot reading without upsetting the folks.
3. The “psychics readers” that you contact from these companies work in call centers or from their home after your call has been re-routed to their personal phone line. These employees are given a chance to do a “sample” reading for the employer, who is listening to their ability to use language flush with explanations to entice the caller to stay on the line a long time and to lose track of minutes used. Many times, the “psychic” will give confusing information on the “reading”, which prompts the caller to ask many questions for clarity and uses up minutes. Remember, the caller is billed from the moment the call is first answered, despite some callers being put “on hold” while the caller is “being connected”. All the while, soothing music and a caring female voice is telling the caller that “your reading will be honest and truthful by our professional readers”. Then, you wait…and wait…and wait, all the while racking up minutes!
4. Most telephone “psychic readers” are paid between $10.00 and $15.00 an hour and only when they are doing readings on the telephone. While the “psychic” is waiting on a call, they are not being paid. Remember, the caller is paying $1.99 to $3.99 a minute for their reading. Spend 30 minutes on the telephone and you may be paying $59.00 to $120.00 for that time spent with that reader. Who is getting paid? The networks, of course. Let’s not forget the stars for their images as well.
I am giving you some idea about how these companies work and to see what is the real motive for advertising psychic services. The bottom line is that these companies are out to make money so if you are fortunate to get a good reader on the phone, your reading is geared to extract the most money out of your wallet that they possibly can.
In closing, please consider staying away from telemarketing “psychic” companies unless you have a direct referral from a satisfied client who gave you a specific reader to consider for your reading. Otherwise, you a calling a stranger who is primed to take your money and may not have any experience at all. If fact, with my services that I give, my readings run well over the time paid for by the client because I want them to go away from the reading with a sense of satisfaction that their questions were answered.
